One last time...

We celebrated the new beginning yesterday, but there was one more panel that deserves a shout out from this week's books, and that's the last in-continuity appearance of the old Superman.


Yep, there goes the Post-Crisis/Pre-Flashpoint Superman, dissolving into the speed force.

Rest easy big guy, as you definitely earned it.

I'll be seeing you in the longboxes as always. In the meantime, however, let's see what this new upstart can do.

I guess there's a good reason why the World's Finest remained a duo and not a trio.

Green Lantern Week - The Impulsive One!

Nothing demonstrates the difference between the "impulsive" Green Lantern and the "cool-headed" Superman quite like the temptation of alien fruit!

Green Lantern Week - The Offer!

I guess we unofficially started this with yesterday's post of Superman vs. a Green Lantern dinosaur construct, but all this week it's Green Lantern themed posts!

Count down to the release of the Green Lantern movie on Friday by coming back every day this week for some Green Lantern goodness. And to kick things off, here's Hal Jordan in a rather benevolent mood.

"Thanks for the offer, GL, but I have my own movie franchise being rebooted for a Christmas 2012 release."

The old switcheroo...

At last, after forty years of super-villain shenanigans, the true meaning of evil is about to make itself known.

And brought on by Superman, no less!


Now we all know that that's not the real Superman.

Bonus points for anyone out there who knows which one of the super-villains at their feet is the real Superman.

And super-double bonus points to anyone out there who knows the identity of the rather generic looking fella on the right.

And super-triple bonus points to anyone out there who knows what blockbuster series took this storyline and expanded upon it almost three decades later.
